My invention relates to new and useful im provements in a Washing compound and the process of making the same and has for one or its objects the commercial production at a reasonable cost, of a Washing compound which will possess highly desirable qualities and When used will form a Water soluble emulsion With dirt, oil, grease and other enhstances which it is desirable'to remove from clothes and household articles.

Another object of the invention is to pro duce a Washing compound which Will not harm or damage fabrics WOOl or metal and therefore can he used for cleansing the finest articles and the Washing process can he carried out in Wooden or metal receptacles further object of the invention is the employment of new process for the production' of a Washing compound. Which consists in first mixing together given quantities of trisodium phosphate, neutral ground powdered soap and boram then adding a quanot denatured alcohol and any desired perfume and finally adding a second quanthus producing an intimately blended compound Without pro ducing a mushy or caky mass. "ll/ith the above namedolojects in vievv, my invention and process carried out on a commercial scale emhodies the following successive progressive steps It orty pounds of trisodium phosphate; twelve pounds oi? neutral ground powdered soap; a d eight pounds of borax are placed in a mmachine and said ingredients thoroughly mizreoh say by operating the machine for ahout live minutes then three ounces of loluing is added to mixed ingredients alter which tvvo ounces of denatured alcohol and about one ounce, a suitable or desirable perfume dissolved in. said alcohol are added to the mixture. The mass is again agitated until the hluing and the mixture of alcohol and perfume are thoroughly distrihuted which may he accomplished by running the mixing machine for approximately another five minutes This having been done, an additional four ounces of denatured alcohol is added to the mass and said mass again agitated tor approml= the previously Application filed (@etoher 19, 1928. No. 313,849.-

niately another five minutes or until all of the ingredients are thoroughly and intimate ly mixed together.

The alcohol not only acts as a carrier for the perfume but also dissolves the bluing and acts as a carrier for the latter so that'it will become thoroughly distributed, evenly throughout the mixture.

As the alcohol quickly evaporates, it takes but a relatively few minutes for it to pass ed and leave the mixture practically dry and therefore such mixture Will not he mushy or liable to cake.

This is the only method or vvay in which the perfume and bluing can be added to the mixture so that the compound is ready for packing immediately after the mixing operations have been completed. By using any liquid other than alcohol, such as Water, the mixture will term a mushy mass and when dry 'willacalre so that in either case, it is unfit to he run into the packing machine until after it has dried out and been crushed or otherwise hrolren upw The trisodium phosphate mentioned herein is vvholly difierent from the ordinary phosphateo'l' sodium or sodium phosphate generally sold by druggists for medicinal purposes and is an exceedingly efi'ective Water softener. Said trisodium phosphate is harmless to a persons hands and most, if not all, fabrics but has a'povvertul affinity for grease, oils and like substances and with said substances immediately forms an emulsion so that'they are removed from any goods which may be immersed in Water to which the compound has been added, L

lln actual use a suitable quantity of the compound is added to either hot or cold Water and the articles to be Washed are soaked for a short time and then occasionally stirred and finally rinsed in clear Water to remove the soap and excess hluing after which said articlea may he "wrung out and hung up for drying .From the foregoing it will be noted that I have provided a highly eficient washing com= pound for use in the home laundry which does notihaveto he dissolved and while it pounds of ground powdered soap,

perfume dissolved contains no harmful chemicals, it acts as a germicide deodorant.

While I have outlined the successive progressive steps of the -proces and set forth the specific quantities of the ingredients most desirable, it is obvious that they may be slightly altered or added to without departin from the spirit of my invention.

Ilaving thus fully described my invention, what I o aim as new and useful is 1. The process of producing a washing compound which consists of mixing together quantities of trisodium phosphate, powdered soap and borax, then adding and thoroughly mixing therewith a coloring matter, next adding and mixing therewith a quantity of ing an additional quantity of alcohol to dissolve the previously added coloring matter and again mixing all of the ingredients.

2. The process of producing a washing compound which consists of mixing together forty pounds of trisodium phosphate, twehl/e ei t pounds of borax, next adding three oun bes of bluin and again mixing the ingredients, next ad ing a perfume dissolved in alcohol and again mixing the ingredients and lastly addin an additional quantity of alcohol and agitating all the ingredients until thoroughly mixed.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature.
